Cub Scout Pack 1774 welcomes boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Most of our Scouts attend Galatas and Coulson Tough elementary schools, but families from other area schools are welcome too.
Absolutely! New families are welcome to attend our Kickoff Party or another Pack event before registering. It is a great way to meet our families, ask questions, and see whether Cub Scouts feels like a good fit for your child.
Cub Scouts learn through hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, games, service projects, and family experiences. Pack 1774 activities may include campouts, hiking, Rocket Day, Pinewood Derby, community service, holiday activities, and other special events throughout the year.
Pack meetings are generally held once a month at Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church. Scouts also meet approximately once a month with their smaller, grade-level dens. Additional activities and outings are offered throughout the year.
Please check our Events page for current dates and locations.
The Pack includes all Pack 1774 Scouts and their families. Pack meetings bring everyone together for activities, awards, games, and celebrations.
Dens are smaller groups organized by grade level. Den meetings give Scouts the opportunity to work on age-appropriate adventures with the other children in their grade.
Most families attend one Pack meeting and one den meeting each month, along with the outings and special activities that work for their schedules. We understand that families may also have sports, school activities, and other commitments.
Cub Scouting is designed to be a family activity. A parent or other responsible adult should plan to participate with their Scout.
Parents also help the Pack by volunteering in ways that fit their interests and availability. Pack 1774 is entirely volunteer-led, and many jobs are small or occasional.
Siblings are welcome at many Pack and family events. Some activities may have age or registration requirements, so families should check the details for each event.
